She looks back hoping to see the person she wishes for,But she only sees the slush on the sidewalk.The city lights kept her awakeAnd that’s what she needs.The cold starts to seep in down her neck,But she just kept her face to ground and walked forward.No matter how much she tried she could not walk away,She felt like she was getting smallerOnly covering a foot an hour.The smells from the restaurants that usually smelled goodNow made her nauseous,With to many memories.Taking a right down a crowded street is an attempt to shush her thoughts,But they come right back.Sighing,She looks behind one more time, letting the hope grow into her heart.
